Delighted to have finished this wedding sampler in less than a week, I had less time than I anticipated to do it. Was able to pass the gift over before the couple went away. I was not entirely happy with the size of the frame used, but the colour complemented the sepia image nicely.
These two designs by Joan Elliott were 5"x7" so it was easy to find off the shelf frames for them. Thinking about it, as there are another two in the series I really should get another couple of the matching frames so that I have them in case i stitch the other two pieces. They have turned out rather nicely for using cheap frames I think.
Having plenty of floss left over from the first stitching I decided to try something different with the Unicorn design and have stitched it on black Aida. I used some metallic threads in the star bursts and rather than beads, used silver threads. I like it, but don't think it is quite as effective as the original. It is however getting used, I have made it up into a cover for my kindle.
